Hybridisation Scenarios of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells, Batteries, and Internal Combustion Engines for Waterborne Transportation
François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego
The shipping industry was responsible for about 3% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2018. In this context, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has established stringent targets to reduce GHG emissions by at least 50% by 2050 compared t ...
Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria2023Emission reduction by targeted transient operations in three-way catalysts for heavy-duty natural gas applications
To curb the severe effects of climate change, our society needs to radically reduce its CO2 footprint. For the heavy-duty sector, where electrification is difficult, alternative fuels can be the solution. Methane-fueled engines have lower energy-specific C ...
EPFL2022Can regional railway become emission-free with recently announced vehicles? - A case study of Bavaria
Michel Bierlaire, Nikola Obrenovic, Florian Mueller
Significant shares of regional passenger railway still rely on pollutive diesel vehicles. Alstom, Bombardier, Siemens, and Stadler have reacted and recently announced Battery Electric and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (BEVs and FCEVs). In this paper, we anal ...
2020Performance evaluation of diesel engines (PEDE) for a diesel-biodiesel fueled CI engine using nano-particles additive
yy Today's researchers have made concerted efforts to benefit from biodiesel and to achieve better combustion due to its higher cetane number in comparison to that of diesel. The major drawback of utilizing biodiesel-diesel blend is the corresponding incre ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2019Model-based economic analysis of electrification in railway - Understanding the impact of track, operations, and uncertainties
Michel Bierlaire, Nikola Obrenovic, Florian Mueller
This paper presents results on the impact of different tracks on the economic viability of track electrification for regional railway. Since regional railway still heavily relies on pollutive diesel propulsion systems, track electrification can be key to r ...
2019Source apportionment of organic carbon in Centreville, AL using organosulfates in organic tracer-based positive matrix factorization
Organic tracer-based positive matrix factorization (PMF) was used to apportion fine particulate (PM2.5) organic carbon (OC) to its sources in Centreville, AL, USA, a rural forested site influenced by anthropogenic emissions, during the Southern Oxidant and ...
Elsevier Ltd2018Integration of solid oxide fuel cells in cruise ship energy systems
François Maréchal, Ligang Wang, Francesco Baldi
The growing trend of the cruise ship industry, together with increasing concerns over its impact on the environment, makes these ships a much relevant target for the efforts toward increasing ship energy efficiency, thus ultimately reducing fuel consumptio ...
2018Energy Integration On Multi-Periods For Vehicle Thermal Powertrains
François Maréchal, Zlatina Kirilova Dimitrova
Internal combustion engines are the most applied energy converters in passenger cars. In order to increase their efficiency, energy integration techniques are used to recover waste heat. An adapted methodology is required to design the organic Rankine cycl ...
Wiley-Blackwell2017Catalytic synthesis of polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (OME): A review
Oliver Kröcher, Alimohammad Bahmanpour, Christophe Jean Baranowski
Polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (OME) containing 3-5 CH2O units (OME3-5) are appealing oxygenated fuels, which can be used in diesel engines with only slight fuel system modifications. Their combustion leads to reduced hazardous exhaust gas emissions comp ...
Elsevier2017Assessment of a metamaterial-inspired active acoustic liner concept for application to aircraft engine noise reduction
Hervé Lissek, Romain Boulandet, Sami Driss Karkar, Gaël Matten
Acoustic liners are a widespread solution for noise mitigation at aircraft engine level, thanks to lightweight and relatively small dimensions for integration within nacelles. Although conventional liners might be designed to target multiple tonal frequenc ...
